Its been confirmed that the climber was none other than legend and all around awesome individual John Bachar. Seems so surreal, he's so invincible... my prayers to the hundreds of people who he has affected and influenced in his wonderfully full life. Greg

Wow, I'm shocked and stunned by this news. Being fairly new to climbing, I never had the chance to meet the man. From the words of those who knew him, he sounds like he was a wonderful man, and obviously a talented climber, and he will be missed by all of us. RIP John.
